Cleaning up a bit

Since my car makes good power now its time to focus on other things. I have been converting my interior to a single color, cleaning up paint, and cleaning up the engine bay. Kind of embarassing telling people about my 360hp supra and watching their face when they see my nasty engine bay :<.

We'll start with some before pics and backstory:

Interior:
The interior had multiple personality disorder. The guy had dyed the dash black, swapped in grey carpet+seats, and left brown everything else.

I have slowly been getting more grey parts, and am almost complete!

Engine:
It came with lots of problems, a mbc, and a BOV. All the essentials to know the car was beat on.

After a couple years work. Functional, yet ugly as sin.

Exterior:
Hmmm this is the only decent original pic I could find. You get the idea.

Mustang wheels, clear blinkers, faded clearcoat, misaligned headlights :<

Alright so here's the engine bay after a few days work. Relocated the coil packs, swapped to NA valve covers, blocked ISC. Other stuff I don't remeber.

89+ tails and new wheels. Still working on re-clearing the hood and roof.

LOL @ the old interior. Looks like you just need some carpet now.
The engine bay looks good.

I put in a whole new grey dash and carpet a few weeks ago. I got rid of all the black dyed stuff except the glovebox, and have everything else except a radio and some normal pedals. Should be done very soon.

Okay I will post the info for coil pack relocate here http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40844

Got a couple pictures snapped today.

Tomorrow I need to take a few more. Need to get some more zoomed in to show the hood compared to how it used to look. Lots of wetsanding and re-clearning revitalized the hood/roof.

First off is comparison to the old faded bumper, and after some polishing/waxing.

Got my last interior pieces, this has taken me longer than anything. For the future I'd rather by a blown engine car with a complete interior.
